Dion Moult b62e14a06a ifcviewer: de-Qt ViewportWindow public API (QString → std::string)
Take QString out of ViewportWindow's outward-facing surface so it can
eventually move into a Qt-free ViewportCore:

  void     queueLoadSidecar(const QString&)    →  (const std::string&)
  uint32_t loadSidecar(const QString&)         →  (const std::string&)
  QString  cameraString() const                →  std::string …
  void     captureNextFrameToPng(const QString&, bool)
                                               →  (const std::string&, bool)
  void     setHudText(const QString&)          →  (const std::string&)

Internal members also moved off QString:
  std::deque<QString> pending_sidecars_     →  std::deque<std::string>
  QString             pending_screenshot_path_ →  std::string

Implementation strategy: convert at the boundary where ViewportWindow
still leans on Qt internals — `loadSidecar` bridges to QString once
for QFile/QDir/QFileInfo path handling; the screenshot save path
constructs a QString locally for QImage::save; the OverlayRenderer's
HUD setter still takes QString so setHudText converts before calling
through. Each of those bridges goes away when ViewportCore lands and
OverlayRenderer / SceneLoader / SidecarBuilder get their own de-Qt
sweeps. cameraString now produces its CSV via snprintf — no QString
ever instantiated.

Bonsai-side updates (compile-only):
  ifcviewer-minimal/main.cpp — queueLoadSidecar / captureNextFrameToPng
                              callers add .toStdString() on the QString
                              parser result
  modules/viewport/View.cpp  — setHudText callers add .toStdString() to
                              their `QString::arg(...)` formatter chains;
                              two `QString()` empty sentinels become
                              `std::string()`
  Measurement.cpp            — same pattern, two setHudText sites
  ifcviewer/LengthMeasurement.cpp — same, three sites

The cameraString string-streaming fix-up in ViewportWindow.cpp drops
the temporary .toUtf8().constData() bridge from #82 — Log::Stream's
std::string overload now handles it directly.

Builds: desktop / bonsai / web all green. Tests 100/100. Closes #80.

IfcOpenShell

IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.

In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
